And the British kowtowed to the Arab population in order to appease oil interests in the Middle East. That progressives today take the same approach is surprising.
Im talking about when the British wouldn’t allow in Holocaust survivors immediately after the Holocaust who had nowhere to go.
“Hamas has never pretended — neither, if you pay attention has the “moderate” Palestinian Authority — that this is [anything other than] a war of annihilation against Jews.”
Also, it’s hard to pretend that “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is some aspirational call for peace and equality when the Arab translation - often chanted at the same rally - is “from the water to the water, Palestine is Arab.”
The key to understanding the conflict has always been to listen to what the Arabs say to each other in Arabic. Rarely have they been so blatant in showing how easily they have manipulated their Western fellow travelers and the contempt in which they hold them.
Just like these protestors, I had no idea what “from the river to the sea” meant either. The difference is that I admitted my ignorance on the issue and chose not to make signs that advertised my ignorance.
Quote: “Some 90 Palestinians who identify as LGBT currently live as asylum seekers in Israel, the newspaper said, after suffering discrimination in their home communities. They have only been allowed to seek work in Israel since July.”
Thanks for an excellent summary of Israel's history vis a vis antisemitism. The early history of the term 'Zionism' is interesting. Nathan Birnbaum is credited with coining the term (1890). Early, both he and Herzl used the term (1896-97?) and agreed on the establishment of a Jewish state. Later Birnbaum diverged from the statehood idea in favor of Zionism as a Jewish cultural identity within the diaspora. However, Zionism over time evolved in its definition to mean the right of Jews to return to their biblical homeland as a sovereign state. Thus, anti-Zionism = antisemitism, which aligns itself with the Internation Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition; "Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor ."
Since the formation of the state of Israel, its destruction and the murder of Jews by its enemies has never ceased and never will, until all the Jews are murdered. The enemies of Israel have told them so. They will never release the hostages even if their absurd demands are met. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Plan accordingly. Act accordingly.
The term “naqba” wasn't defined to mean “the disaster of the expulsion of Palestinians”, it means “the disaster of the failure to annihilate Israel in 1948”
“At least they’re honest”….Honesty? Is that not a compliment. Not sure bestowing even one compliment is warranted. Honesty is when the useful idiots eat humble pie of the kosher variety.
We should all send this to all our "progressive" friends who are so clueless.
I am on the side of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai.

Typo alert with bracketed correction:

Thanks Charles! Fixed!

They don’t hide their messages.
They want whole of Israel to be Palestine .
They want all Jews dead .
Morons supporters don’t understand or don’t want to understand .

Excellent historical summary. Needs to go viral.
I just wrote this and then saw your post. They go hand in hand, Pat.

At the end of the “2000 - Camp David” section, should it say “a Palestinian state alongside…”. I might be being thick, in which case, forgive me 😂🙏.
I'm the thick one, Brendon! Thanks for pointing it out. Fixed! I appreciate the crowdsourced proofing!!!!
